Answer:

The walkway has area 216 sq ft the pool has area (15 ft)(16 ft)=240 sq ft

Together a total area of (216 sq ft+225 sq ft)=441 sq ft since The pool and path form a square (the pool is 15ft x 15 ft and the path uniform around it)

The sides (s) of the total area are

s%5E2=441+sq+ft

s=sqrt%28441+sq+ft%29=21+feet

Each side of the total area spans the width of the path on one side then the width of the pool then the path on the other side so:

Total side=width of path + width of pool + width of path= 2*width of path+width of pool

width of path=(Total width-width of pool)/2

width of path=(21 feet - 15 feet)/2= 6 feet/2=3 Feet

ANSWER the width of the path is 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

sorry if i'm wrong

Fed [463]
The symbol that would accurately feel this blank is ">" because when x=6, the equation on the left is equal to 48. An easy way to remember which sign to use is that the arrow points to the smaller number. Since the equation on the left equals 48, we know that 28 is the smaller number. Therefore, the arrow points to 28.

natta225 [31]
So, 10% of 40,000 is 4,000 then we add up 40,000 and 4,000 and get 44,000. Then we need to know how much is 10% of 44,000 and it is 4,400. 44,000+4,400= 48,400 and then we just need to repeat this one more time. 48,400+4,840(10% of 48,400)= 53,240. That is the answer))))

10x = -8 (Divide each side by 10)

x = -0.8

<CAD = 5x - 4

<CAD = 5(-0.8) - 4

<CAD = -4 - 4
